Van Morrison to headline with Bob Dylan at Hop Farm Festival

Van Morrison has been announced as the headliner for Friday night at this year’s Hop Farm Festival.

Hop Farm had been originally slated as a one day only event for this year, set to take place on Saturday 3 July, but the organisers have added an extra date with the festival to commence on Friday 2 July. Bob Dylan had already been previously confirmed to headline Saturday, alongside Pete Doherty and Mumford & Sons. More artists are set to be added to the bill for Friday.

The 3rd annual Hop Farm Festival will be a two day event with camping and three stages, set in the grounds of Hop Farm, Paddock Wood, Kent. The festival is unique among its contemporaries because it proudly boasts no branding and no sponsorship. We had a blast at Hop Farm 2009 and plan to return again this year for more coverage.
